Anxiety Therapy for High-Functioning Women in New York
Serving clients across New York, New Jersey, & Florida through virtual therapy
For women who are often the strong or go-to person—yet still feel anxiety and panic in their bodies. I use EMDR to create real relief without years of open-ended therapy.
Heal from Anxiety With Expert Therapist, Dr. Minerva Guerrero.
EMDR Therapy in Westchester County and in the entire states of New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Virtual sessions available.
When anxiety doesn’t match your life on paper
You may understand your anxiety logically. You know where it comes from. You’ve read the books, tried coping tools, and talked yourself through it more times than you can count.
And yet—your body still reacts.
Your heart races. Your chest tightens. Your nervous system stays alert even when things are “fine.” Anxiety or panic shows up automatically, often without a clear reason.
This is where traditional talk therapy can feel limited.
I work with women across New York, New Jersey, and Florida whose minds understand their anxiety, but whose nervous systems haven’t caught up yet.
Through virtual EMDR therapy, we focus on calming the body’s stress response—not just managing symptoms or endlessly analyzing the past.
This work is for you if…
You’re capable and self-aware
You’re often the strong or go-to person for others
Anxiety or panic feels automatic, not logical
You’ve tried coping skills or talk therapy with limited relief
You want therapy that is focused, purposeful, and contained
You’re open to body-based work rather than purely cognitive approaches
You’re seeking virtual therapy in NY, NJ, or FL
You don’t need more insight.
You need your nervous system to stand down.
You might recognize yourself here
This work may be a good fit if you:
Struggle with anxiety or panic attacks that feel automatic or out of proportion
Often feel on edge and find it hard to fully relax, even when things are going well
Experience physical symptoms of anxiety such as a racing heart, tight chest, shallow breathing, or nausea
Have unwanted memories or body reactions linked to a specific stressful or overwhelming event
Feel unsettled, hyper-alert, or easily triggered after a medical scare, accident, loss, or major life disruption
Feel overwhelmed by the pressures of work, relationships, and daily responsibilities
Note: You don’t need to relate to all of these for this work to be helpful.
With therapy, you can begin to feel…
More informed about how anxiety and stress impact your nervous system, so your reactions make more sense and feel less personal or confusing
More confident and in control, even when anxiety, fear, numbness, or other intense sensations arise
Greater compassion toward yourself, especially when things feel hard or you’re not functioning at your usual level
Less critical of yourself for wanting more ease, even when others think you “have it all together”
More at peace with your emotional experience, including uncomfortable feelings, without needing to avoid or fix them
Less stuck in automatic stress or anxiety patterns, particularly those shaped by past experiences or specific overwhelming events

What working together looks like
Therapy is offered in weekly virtual sessions with a clear focus and direction. While everyone’s process is different, my work is not open-ended or exploratory by default.
Together, we will:
Identify the anxiety or panic patterns your body is stuck in
Use EMDR to target those responses directly
Track progress and adjust as your system stabilizes
Work toward meaningful relief—not endless maintenance
Weekly therapy availability is intentionally limited to ensure focused, high-quality care.
For some clients, a more focused option
Some clients benefit from a more concentrated approach to anxiety and panic. In addition to weekly therapy, I also offer EMDR intensives—a short-term, focused format designed to create momentum when weekly sessions feel too slow or when time is limited.
EMDR intensives are offered virtually to clients in New York, New Jersey, and Florida and are not the right fit for everyone. If appropriate, we can discuss whether this option supports your goals.
